Tosin. Thank you so much! Your great insight of Azure CLI really impresses me. I misunderstood the semantics of vm extension set. I thought it is like general set command of other command. But it’s more like a create command to create or add an extension to VM. We can use id for existing resource rather then the resource we’re going to create or install.

I’m on holiday from 1st Oct to 7th Oct . --ids is a general parameter in Azure CLI. It doesn’t support the usage you expect. But your advice is great. We’ll discuss if it’s feasible later.

@adewaleo I’m not the right person to solve this. I’m not familiar with the cli nor the vm extension service
